- Summary:
- Seamus Heaney's version of Philoctetes is a fast-paced, brilliant work excellently suited to the stage. Heaney keeps the majesty of the Greek original, but manages to give his verse the flavor of Irish speech and context. "...a purifying play, in the great tradition of modern Irish drama."--John Peter, The Sunday Times. --Publisher.
